About This Novel

Zhao Chen, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, traveled back to the Zhengde period and started as the bullied Qiantang Yicheng. He stirred up the Ming Dynasty with his ingenuity of "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger". He used the official documents of the inn to uncover the secrets of the powerful water transport gangs colluding with pirates, used commercial war to break up the salt and iron monopoly, and gathered the power of the merchant gangs with innovative initiatives such as "water transport joint transportation" and "salt import bidding system". In the court, he fought step by step in the dispute between Liu Jin's autocratic power and the great ceremony; on the battlefield, he assisted Qi Jiguang in fighting the Japanese and allying with Mongolia for mutual trade; in the harem, Su Wanqing's intelligence network, Qin Liangyu's military power, and A'duo's sea trade skills all showed their strengths. From reforming the post station to implementing the prototype of the "One Whip Law", from fighting against military corruption to building an agricultural and commercial mutual aid system, he assisted the government with business and saved the country with wisdom, and finally became the powerful Duke of Dingguo. However, he left an unfinished reform legend in the turbulent Wanli Dynasty. His story of "ensuring the country through business" has been immortalized by later generations.
